I did have two problems with the recipe before I even started.
1) No food processor
2) Not usually crazy about cakes with sour cream in them AND in the icing
Nonetheless, the picture looked enticing, so I thought I would give it a shot. Since the last cake failure I have purchased Baker's Joy in lieu of shortening. Gotta say, that stuff works!
Good things about this cake:
1) Looks lovely (which, as you know, is rare for me)
2) Frosting is yummy
Problems with this cake:
1) dry as the Sahara
2) weighs about 5 lbs and could be used as a weapon
This one will be thrown away. Le sigh.
Aw! I had to laugh at this post because it it something I could have written. I just do not have good luck with baking. I recently named a photo album of a cake "Awful Cake," so that about sums that one up.
ReplyDeleteToo bad this one went it the garbage...it definitely looked like it had potential!
